I read in !emc-pstc that Paolo Peruzzi <[email protected]> wrote (in <[email protected]>) about 'Medical devices radiated immunity', on Thu, 6 Dec 2001:

Not until the FDIS has passed its vote (closing date 2002-02-01), and not in Europe until the new edition has been notified in the Official Journal. But since there is an obvious error in 60601-1-2, in calling up 61000-4-3 for measurements above 2 GHz, which it does not cover, I think you can make a case in your technical file for using the method. -- Regards, John Woodgate, OOO - Own Opinions Only. http://www.jmwa.demon.co.uk After swimming across the Hellespont, I felt like a Hero. ------------------------------------------- This message is from the IEEE EMC Society Product Safety Technical Committee emc-pstc discussion list.
